rotate the labels for a scatter plot in R

Question

I know how to add labels to points in a scatter plot in R using the "text" command, as shown in this question: How can i label points in this scatterplot?

But how can I rotate the text lable so that it runs vertically from the point?

In base R graphics, `text(..., srt = 90)` rotates the text by 90 degrees. — Maurits Evers, Oct 26 '17 at 08:58
thanks so much, I missed the statement in the help that "par" settings could be used in text — Adrian Tompkins, Oct 27 '17 at 08:00

Something like this?

ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg, label = rownames(mtcars))) + geom_point() + geom_text(angle=90,hjust=1.2)
